"Never mind."
He finally spoke, and she looked up at him in surprise.
She was stunned. He wasn't angry? He let her go?
"Aren't you leaving yet?" he said calmly.
Wanruo stood up immediately: "Then I'll go first."
Then he turned and walked out.
She walked out of Songhe Garden and wandered along the paths in the garden, her mind in a state of confusion. She thought she understood Xie Xianyu well, but now it seemed as if she could no longer understand him.
The next day, Wanruo prepared to go to Songhe Garden to learn the piano as usual.
Cuizhu arrived first: "Qing'an just came to say that the young master will not be coming today. He has to stay in the palace to discuss matters. Let the cousin practice the fingering that he taught her yesterday."
Wanruo breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally busy.
There was still a trace of regret on her face: "My cousin has worked so hard."
"Don't worry, young lady. The master said that he will be done with his work this month at the latest, and he will be able to teach you well when he has some free time."
"Then we can only wait until next month."
Cuizhu placed the zither in her arms on the table and said, "The master asked me to bring the zither to you so that you can practice diligently."
Wanruo frowned when she looked at Qin, and responded perfunctorily: "Then you can put it there."
Cuizhu smiled and said, "The Master said that he would come back to examine me. If my fingering hasn't improved, I will change the class to two hours a day."
“…”
Wan Ruo forced a smile: "I know."
When Cuizhu left, Wanruo's face fell.
Su Yue placed the zither on the desk, holding it in her arms: "The eldest master is really devoted to teaching you. He's already in the palace discussing matters, yet he still remembers that you're practicing the zither."
Wan Ruo sneered: "He is afraid that I will have an easy time."
Su Yue changed the subject awkwardly: "Why does the eldest master want to stay in the palace to discuss matters again? Has something happened again?"
"It's probably the salt tax case that's happened again."
Although it is a case in Jiangnan, it involves a lot of Beijing officials. If this case is really handled, I am afraid that all the dignitaries in Beijing will suffer.
Wanruo was too lazy to think about these things. It was good that Xie Xianyu was busy, so she could have some free time to deal with some important matters.
Su Yue said, "Yesterday, the young lady asked me to deliver the medicine bag to you. Master Lin was very pleased with it and said that if he had the chance, he would definitely thank you in person."
"The Spring Examination is at the end of this month, so let's wait until he finishes the exam."
Wanruo stared at the piano in front of her, feeling uneasy. There was no obstacle from Lin Han's side at the moment, but the most urgent thing was how to get out of the Xie family safely.
Xie Xianyu refused to let go, so she had to find another way.
"Miss, Miss Seven is here." Yu Dong ran in to announce.
Wanruo was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked Suyue to put away the piano.
Xie Xiulin walked in with a smile: "Sister Wanruo."
"You're here? Come and sit down."
Wanruo was a little surprised. Last time when Taiyuan Lake was defaced and stolen, Xie Xiulin cried so hard out of fear. She thought she would be depressed for a few days, but she didn't expect that in just two days, she seemed to have completely recovered.
"Why are you so happy, Er?" Wanruo asked as she poured her tea herself.
"Of course I'm happy to come see you." Xie Xiulin picked up the tea and took a sip. "The old lady wants to go to Zhaojue Temple to burn incense tomorrow. Shall we go together?"
Wanruo nodded: "Okay."
She didn't want to attend at first. After the incident at Taiyuan Lake last time, she really didn't want to cause any more trouble. But this time it was the old lady who told her about it, and it wasn't a banquet. It was only the Xie family attending, so it wasn't a big deal.
"This time, all the members of the Xie family are here, except for my sixth sister and the third wife. Father said that my sixth sister can't be released until she gets married."
Wanruo smiled and said, "Your life will be much better now."
Xie Xiulin's eyes were filled with hatred. "Even if she comes out, I'm not afraid of her! She has humiliated me over the years and I've suffered so much. Sooner or later, I'll make her pay!"
Wanruo held her hand and said, "If the Third Master orders the punishment of the Third Madam and Xie Xiuyun, your future life will be much easier. Now your marriage can be arranged by the Second Madam. The Second Madam is a good housekeeper and will not mistreat illegitimate children. You can rest assured."
Xie Xiulin's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "No need to trouble the Second Madam."
Wanruo was stunned: "Why?"
